If your only knowledge of how the honey bee society works is from Winnie the Pooh or The Bee Movie, let us show you how intricate a honey bee colony really is. Did you know that 97% of a beehive is female? Did you know that 80% of YOUR food is has been touched in some way by the honey bees?

Did you know that there are over 300 different distinct varieties of raw honey in the United States alone and that honey is often compared to wine? Did you know that those with diabetes type II can eat honey, and that it actually is the better sweetener for them?

Come join us for our Beekeeping & Honey Tours at The Bear Foot Honey Farm store at 4372 Sonoma Hwy in Santa Rosa, California.

Upon being welcomed at Bear Foot Honey Farm we will begin with the fascinating origin and history of how Bear Foot Honey Farm came to BEE, going back three generations. From there we will present the presentation “It’s a Wonderful Bee Life” written by Cheryl, the owner of Bear Foot Honey in hopes to better educate you on the corporate ladder in the hives. After the show you are then suited up and walked out to the apiary to get a closer look at “life inside the bee village”.

That is not all! We will then have you sample our many varieties of premium raw honeys from Apple Blossom, and Blackberry to Seasonal Wildflowers and our many Creamed Honey varietals and learn the benefits of each unique flavor. When you leave us you will well informed, and quite possibly want to take up beekeeping as a hobby.
